If you've ever been to the store Forever 21,
you know they sell a lot of trendy clothes that are inexpensive.
- Oh, yeah. - You also know that most people who shop there are not 21.
They are either 16 and full of angst,
or 45, divorced, and full of angst.
And since Rhett and I are always in the market
for a snazzy, yet affordable dress,
we wanted to play a game. It's time for...
Okay, here's how it's gonna work. We're gonna be presented
with different dresses modeled by mannequins,
right here on this rotating platform.
- Wow. - Platform. Platform.
- Platform. - We're gonna guess whether the dress is
made by a designer...
or from Forever 21,
using these stylish fans that people at fashion shows like to...use.
- Fan themselves. - Let the fashion show begin!
Okay, let's see our first dress.
It's rotating around.
- Lots to take in. Very flow-y. - Rhett: Layered.
Mannequin: Hi, fellas, I'm Sage.
- ( laughter ) - Do you like my outfit?
- Yes, Sage. - It--it speaks.
This fun, flow-y, flirty number says to the world,
"I'm easily the most fun one at my book club."
- It does have a book club quality... - Yup.
- ...because it's-- - Honestly, I didn't even read the book.
It's just an excuse to hang out.
I admit complete ignorance in this area,
not an expert in any way,
but something about the fact that
the dress touches the ground
makes it seem more designer than something
you'd get at Forever 21. Is that totally off? ( laughs )
Uh, yeah, you're totally off, 'cause I'm an expert.
- I have no clue. But yeah-- - It's just there's so much to it.
I've seen dresses drag the ground on runways.
- Yeah. Exactly. Designer. - Like airport runways.
- That's why that's my guess. - Oh, that's your guess?
Well I think the whole thing seems to be held up
just by a little green string.
- ( laughter ) - Rhett: Uh-huh.
And I think that if that string were to break or get cut,
boy, your book club would get real interesting.
- Real quick. - Don't even think about it, saucy boy.
- How are you speaking with no mouth? - Telepathically.
- Oh, goodness. - So we're the only ones hearing this.
Yeah, when this video comes out, you're gonna look insane.
I'm going with "designer." I'm locked in.
I--this has the color palette of Forever 21.
- Oh! Interesting. - So I'm voting "Forever 21."
Sage, do you know what you have on?
I certainly do, Link.
The right answer is...
- "Designer." - Woop!
- Because it touches the ground. - Well, I don't know if that's the reason.
You seem a little preoccupied with that, but it was a good guess.
The Roberto Cavalli dress
costs $2,995.
- It's a floral-- - We're returning it, right?
( giggles ) Nope, I ruined the tags.
( laughs )
It is a floral silk crepe maxi-dress
from the 2017 Resort Collection.
- What? - Oh, yeah, very "resorty."
- I resort to still returning it somehow. - Yes.
Next dress.
Okay, she's striking a pose.
- Rhett: Mm-hmm. - Link: A little nude underlay there.
Hi, fellas. I'm Paige.
Oh, rhymes with Sage.
( laughs ) Oh,it--does it?
I don't think that'll be a running thing.
This fun, flirty number
is reminiscent of a 1920s film star.
So just by putting it on, I've developed an opium addiction.
I'm sorry, Paige.
I notice that we have-- it's a nude...
- base layer. - Yup.
That's not flesh. That's what they call nude.
Yup, yup, I'm aware of that.
And then over the top of it, we got
like a coral-ic configuration of sequins.
- "Coral-ic"? Is that a word? - "Coral-ic" as in
- like, coral. - Coral-like?
Like a reef.
Like if you were to snorkel at a reef
- you would see coralic things. - I'm certain that's not a word, but it should be.
This is from Forever 21 because it does not touch the ground.
It's as simple as that for you.
- Again, that's a odd metric to use-- - It worked last time.
All of the coralic overlay is very intricate.
And I know that Sage had on a designer dress,
but we can get a hold of another designer dress
'cause I'm told that we're renting them.
Yes, we don't have to return them. We do have to return them.
- But...we're renting. Much cheaper. - Okay.
Paige, do you want to whisper the answer in my ear?
You have to make a choice, Paige-- Sage.
I can whisper--because I am speaking telepathically,
- again, I can whisper the answer in your head. - Yeah, do that.
( demonic voice ) I know that you secretly save your poops.
Rhett: Oh-ho! Oh. Uh-oh.
- I'm going with designer. - I'm going with Forever 21.
( laughing ) Well, once again,
Rhett's weird ground-touching thing
for some reason worked.
It's Forever 21.
This is the Ornate Mesh Dress. This is $68.
- Oh, very affordable. - That's good, you're cost conscious.
Oh, look, another dress on a pedestal.
Yeah, okay. Any day now.
There she is. Okay.
( masculine voice ) Hi, guys, I'm Cage.
What do you think of my plunging neckline?
Uh...it's uh...
It's very frilly.
"Cage," huh?
It's a family name.
Do you have a...
do you have congestion or something?
No, this is just how I speak telepathically.
- Oh, I'm sorry. - Don't make fun of me.
Okay, so as Cage pointed out, plunging neckline
with ringlets of detailing.
And then there's a stripe across the upper chest area
of more ringlet detailing.
It almost touches the ground.
But it doesn't, so I'm gonna go with Forever 21.
It's a pretty simple system. It's never failed me.
There's nothing overly special about this
besides the ringlet detail.
Your system of over-thinking it has not worked for you.
Just so you know.
I think this one looks like it could be cheap.
Which tells me that it's designer,
wouldn't you say, Cage?
I will say that once again Rhett is right.
- Forever 21. $78. - What?
A gauze-woven maxi-dress by Dark Pink.
Dang it!
- Swing it around! - Ooh!
Double animal print.
- Leopard and-- what is that? Tiger? - Yeah.
Hi, fellas, I'm Mage.
- Hi. - This dress
was inspired by the inauguration wardrobe
of New Jersey's first female senator.
( laughter)
I get it.
Mage, I request permission to not touch your dress,
but get close to see if it's actually touching the ground.
- Is that okay? - ( exasperated sigh ) You may.
Just keep it PG-13 there, buddy.
( long low whistle )
Are you looking across the dress, or trying to look up it?
It doesn't currently touch the ground,
but I feel like
it would touch the ground when walking.
I feel like it would graze the ground,
and therefore I'm going with designer.
It doesn't touch it in this current state,
but I'm certain it would drag the ground during an evening out,
and that's what makes a designer dress.
It's an audacious choice to combine
- two different cats on one dress. - ( laughter )
Is that something a designer would do?
I think so.
Oh, okay.
- It is a designer dress. - This is in fact a designer dress...
- Both: Yes. - ...from Moschino.
It's $750 from the "Cheap and Chic" line
that is said to be "more accessible."
Cheap and chic? 750 bucks?
When she dies, this is what Fran Drescher has requested to be buried in.
- Oh, nice. - But hopefully that never happens.
- She's a national treasure. - ( growls )
Oh.
Turnin' around.
- Link: Ooh, there's so-- - Rhett: Oh, goodness.
- Link: Lotta action in the wrist area. - Hello, fellas, I'm Quage.
( laughter )
- Hello, Quage. - What do you think of my little black dress?
It's not very little.
- Are you calling me fat? - No, no, no.
- I mean it's long. - ( sputters )
Well, I never! Oh!
- Are you okay? - You sound like you are being belted with something.
No! That's just the sound I make when I've been insulted!
- Oof! Oh! - "Pelted" is the word I was trying to use.
- Ooph! Eesh! - Are you being shot with paint ball right now?
Oh, he's looking at the hemline.
You should really ask first! I know that it was okay
with the other mannequin, but it might not be okay with me.
- Quage, is it okay if I look at the-- - Yeah, it's okay. It's fine.
Again, not touching the dress-- not touching the ground.
It looks like it would touch the ground on an evening out,
- but I think-- - I believe it would,
- 'cause she's standing on her tiptoes. - Here's the thing:
Forever 21 knows the principle that I have established.
And they're like, "Hey, y'all, let's make one
- that touches the ground--" - ( chortles ) There's no way they know that.
- "and pass it off as designer." - Right.
And this is the one time they did it. Forever 21.
For the "queen sweep."
You're--you're reversing your own stupid rule?
- Because Forever 21... - I heard you.
...is like, "We gotta get in on it." Yeah.
Well, it's deceptively elegant.
I mean...
It's just a black dress, scrunched up
- in the bellybutton region. - Yup.
- But then you got those wrist accoutrements. - Yeah.
- Wow. - Some may even say ( in French )
Yeah. And that's why this is a refined
and understated,
designer dress.
All right. What is it, Quage?
Nothing but the finest for Quage!
It is an Alexander McQueen designer dress.
- Dang. - Price tag:
- $6,395! - Rhett: What?
- Whoa! - I can't believe you would think I would
dress myself in the rags that children buy at the mall!
- Ooh! Ah! Ooh! Eesh! Ooph! Ah! Ooh! - ( laughter )
I'm sorry, Quage. I should've trusted my principle.
Well, I gained some ground there,
but you still doubled me. Four-to-two, Rhett.
- Congratulations. - What's my prize?
I get to take one of these dresses home, right?
- I'll take this one. - Okay.
- My wife'll be very happy. - Go take it.
Congratulations, Rhett. You won.
- That's the dress you've chosen. - What? You're--
Don't take me off my precious podium!
Ooph! Ah! Ooh!
- Ooh! Ah! - ( thud )
( Quage laughs ) The hand fell off.
Sorry, Quage.
Stick around to watch us play a game
about some of the most ridiculous yearbook quotes ever.
